About Divitel - Effortless Video Service Performance

Effortless Video Distribution Performance

We are a trusted partner for our customers’ video distribution efforts. We help them improve the way they get video content to the screens. Everything starting from content acquisition, to headend, to core-network, to in-home and ending at client devices is our cup of tea.

Today, we are on a constant mission to increase video service quality and operating margin, so our customers can compete and remain relevant in the dynamic world of video.

Towards autonomous video and TV services

Divitel Roadmap

To support our operational services, we have developed a platform that we call the Divitel Quantum Platform. It can be deployed on top of existing ecosystems and helps engineers with their day-to -day maintenance work. We are constantly improving our platform, the above figure shows the different stages of our roadmap.

The most current operational version of our platform is called Quantum Neo – It visualizes insights and provides a real-time overview of the ecosystems health status. It’s dashboards alert our engineers in case of any failure and point out the possible cause. This way, our operational services become bionic – our engineering is supported by technology.

In accordance to our vision, in the upcoming years we will be increasingly adding human insights, making it more intelligent by applying automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence in our efforts to create, predictive, fully autonomous operations.

It all started back in 1995…

… when a Dutch digital video broadcasting and telecommunications company called Divitel was formed. It was the same year the internet emerged. Internet was in its infancy at that time, but soon became booming business. Several other companies doing digital video were founded in the same years, but thanks to the strong pioneering spirit of Divitel and its team, this company was the only -on digital video focused- corporation that survived the huge internet crash in 2003.

It took a lot of study with scientists and other specialists, but being the first company to realise a digital video connection was of course a very special and undertaking process.

Over the last twenty five years, there have been many changes, milestones and achievements. In this overview you will find the most important ones, that have shaped who we are today.
